Denationaiized Americans.


Some of the Americans here who are the
most conspicuous do not represent in a
complimentary way their own country.
People who are ashamed of their own
country, or who are disposed to 60 about
apoIogizing for it, belong to the class of
people ashamed of their own families. 1
heard conversation illustrating this type
in front of the Haymarket Theater last
night between a denationalized American
and an EDglishman, while we were waiting
for the doors to be opened for the perform
ance of Man and Wife, 1 did not know
that the denationalized was an American
until be admitted the disgraceful fact
with great depreciation and numerous
apologies. He had the most exag-
geraied accent, and employed the broad
est IS where even ordinary Euglishmen
fat them, and used with great frequency
the greatest variety of London cOlloquial-
isms. Il the course of the conversation
the denationalized began to discuss Mrs.
Potter, and he said: Some of these Amer
leans are wonderfully clever, and this
woman may make a hit" The English
man replied in a sort of doubtful way:
You speak of her as If she were for
eigner. Is she not a eountry-woman OF
yours Some one told me that you are an
American" The denationalized fastened
to respond: Eyes; am an American born,

LATE NEWS FROM EsIIN BEY.
He Was Established When the Messenger
Left Him at WadeIai.


ZANZIBAR, April ia Somila trader
from the uganda country has arrived here
bearing advices from Emin Bey. He was
established, when the trader left, at
Wadelai, north of Albert Nvanze. he had
two small steamers plying on the White
Nile and on the lake. In November, which
was four months later than the advices
brought by DR.. Junker, Emin Bey visited
King Unyoro, which was a six days
journey from Uganda. Emin Bey was
accompanied on his journey by DR.. Vita
Hassan, ten Egyptian officers, three Greeks
and four negroes. Subsequently he asked
Mwanga, King of the Uganda, to receive
him. The King said he would willingly
receive him if he came without followers.
Emin Bey thereupon went to King Mwan-
ga, accompanied by DR.. Vita and three
Greeks. He and his companions remained
with the King seventeen days. Emin
asked the King for permission
to pass through his territory toward
Zanzibar. The King, upon hearing this re-
quest, ordered the visitors to return the
way they came and declared he would
have nothing more to do with Europeans.
King Mwanga is a youth eighteen years of
age. He has 1000 wives. Sometimes he
wears Turkish and other times an Arab
costume, and often reverts to the ma
tive simplicity in the matter of dress.
Emin Bey, when the King ordered him
to return the way he came went back to
Wadelai and was glad to escape from
Mwanga's country. The Somali states that
the messengers dispatched from Zanzibar
to carry information TO Emin Bey that Mr..
Stanley had gone with an expedition by
way OF the Congo River to effect his rescue,
were detained in Unyanyembo by the
King, who was indisposed to allow them

When the district messenger service was
organized it was rightly considered pub

seen any day stealing rides On horse cars or
sitting on trucks to enable them TO pocket
the fares given them. This creates delay
and explains the cause tor the present dis

Tee companies are not to blame. for II is
impossible to watch several hundred boys
scattered around the city on errands How
often it happens that a gentleman
sends his wife message about
some domestic matter, only to reach
home before the boy who started
an hour ahead of him. The reason for
these messengers becoming bad is the fact
that they go into all sorts of places. Young
as they are, they are compelled to deliver
messages at vile resorts, Dar-rooms or gam
bling deDs, and become familiar with every
phase of low life. There is no worse school
for boy than the duty of a uniformed
messenger.
The street boys are a peculiar class.
Dependent entirely upon their own re-
sources, and having no references, they
live by their wits. Some take to selling
newspapers, and there are nearly 600 in
that branch of business, two-thirds of them
being without homes except the lodging
houses. These boys also work in the mar
kets or black boots in the hours when there
are DO newspapers to sell, though this
latter employment is now almost entirely

The Board of Trustees of Chattanooga
University has decided to respect and obey
the admonition of the Board of Managers
of the Freedman's Aid Society OF the
Methodist Episcopal Church. At the be-
ginning of the next school year, therefore,
negro scholars will be admitted and Pro-
fessor CaUlkins will be dismissed. Never
theless, the trustees are understood to feel
very sore over the way in which their pol
icy had been overturned by the church,
and though they say nothing about re-
signing, il is quite possible they may do
so, hut whether they do or lot, it is the
opinion of many intelligent Methodists
that the success of the university has been
seriously impaired, for in the present state
of feeling in the South no institution
which admits colored pupils can hope to
retain any white pupils.

A HARANGUE ON HELL.
The Theory of an Alabama Negro Concern
ing the Internal Regions.
Baltimore Special.

Caesar A. Taylor, of Alabama, a young
cOlored man, is delivering lectures here on
Hell" He has made several addresses
and at each succeeding one becomes more
than ever convinced of the correctness of
his theory regarding the location of the in
feInRl regions Finding that he can at
tract larger audiences on the street than
by hiring hall, he delivers his harangues
on the public highway, usually, however,
selecting neighborhood in which colored
people predominant. He announces by
advertisement that he will appear
at a certain place at certain hour, and at
the appointed time drives up in a hack,
jumps out, pulls out box, and starts of
describing the exact location of hell. His
aim, he says, is to reverse the theory of the
globes origin, and give a scientific location
of hell harmonizing with the Bible. He is
bitterly opposed to Bob Ingersoll. Here is
his argument: 1.-THE bottomless pit, l say,
is sealed up. II not how are thinking SIN
neTs and christians to believe that 1t can
hold anything? Why do you gull the
congregations on the doctrine of hell when
you admit that you have no substantial ev-
idence and will not accept any. III hell is
bottomless, don't tell us there is anything
in it. The torrid zone, as a belt of heat
forty seven miles in width, encircles the
center of the earth, and hold that vol
canic erupti0ns result from the bolt I'm of
in the water which it contains all at
once upon the internal heat and general
ing steam, and occasioning great roaring
! and general blowing out eruption. This
internal fire compares with the Bible botn
as TO location and description. Is 1T hell?
Drop into it and see. 1t can be mathemat-
ically proven that the earth's crust is be-
tween fifty and seventy-fve miles thick to
a temperature that would melt iron. After
close figuring l estimated ii to be nearly
ffty-two miles thick. The main diameter
| of the earth being 1926 miles, fiftY-two
| from each end-104-would leave 1922
miles as a diameter, the square of which
multiplied by three-14, 159-gives the
spherical surface measure 1912 63i
square miles, to find the solid contents of
which we multiply by one-third the radius
Of the sphere, which is 25O, 542, O93, sos

/ planning his theory.

The French Protestants have not hith-
erto been famous in connection with for
eign missions. They have had. perhaps,
too much to do with themselves. The
Congo has for sometime been claiming their
attention, but they have been slow to act.
The Paris Missionary Society has at length
taken the initial step toward founding
mission on the Congo. 1t has sent fitting
man to explore the district and to fix upon
a suitable place for the establishment OF
headquarters. Some anxiety is manifested
by the members OF the society who have
thus taken action as to the needed funds.
1t remains to be seen whether those among
the Protestant party who have so long
been urging the missionary society TO be-
gin the work will now give proof of their
zeal by the Ipsrsl:ty Of their contribu'

nor hath been heard of since, and was probably
slain in battle and that his estate is greatly in
solvent; that none OF his creditors think 1t
worth their while to take administration there
on, and that there are some small debts due to
said estate, particularly said Noah's wages IN
his last and fatal campaign, which would be
beneficial to the memorialist and her children
in her low circumstances and praying for an
sct OF this Assembly TO enable her TO recover
said debts without being liable to said Noah S
creditors, etc., as per memorial ETC.: Re-
